I also witnessed a time when one was asked about seeding and gave an answer that was completely wrong, and effected the outcome of the event. It would help (My opinion.) that no changes be made after Week 1 events, unless safety related. Sometimes there are a lot of bad feelings generated by these decisions.

The GDC members are typically only brought into the picture when a call is flat out wrong or when there is question about the intent of a rule. When the refs cant determine the exact meaning of a rule as it applies to the situation, if there is a GDC member nearby they will often consult him. But those are the only 2 times I have seen a GDC member step in.
